Abstract: In this paper spur gear teeth with circular root
fillet radius is used instead of standard trochoidal root fillet
radius and analysed by using ANSYS version 14.0. The strength
of new modified teeth is studied in comparison with standard
design. The analysis shows that circular root fillet has higher
bending strength than standard trochoidal root fillet design.
The result shows that trochoidal root fillet design is suitable
for higher number of teeth and circular root fillet design is
suitable for lesser number of teeth.

1. INTRODUCTION
Gear transmission systems play an important role in
many industries. The knowledge and understanding of gear
behavior in mesh such as stress distribution, work condition
and distortion is critical to monitoring and controlling the
gear transmission system.
A pair of teeth in action is generally subjected to two
types of cyclic stresses: bending stresses inducing bending
fatigue and contact stress causing contact fatigue. Both these
types of stresses may not attain their maximum values at the
same point of contact. However, combined action of both of
them is the reason of failure of gear tooth leading to fracture
at the root of a tooth under bending fatigue and surface
failure, like pitting due to contact fatigue. These types of
failures can be minimized by careful analysis of the problem
during the design stage and creating proper tooth surface
profile, optimal teeth parameters with proper manufacturing
methods.
One of the primary causes of gear tooth failure is the presence of large tensile stresses in the root fillet of loaded gear tooth. These stresses reduce the overall gear life and can result in catastrophic tooth failure under peak load
conditions. Many attempts have been made by earlier investigators to relate the tooth failure and the tensile stresses observed in loaded gear, and found that maximum principle stress is the key factor, which governs the fatigue life of the spur gear. A small reduction in maximum principle stresses leads to increase in the fatigue life of the gears considerable. Therefore it is important to find out the method of reducing maximum principle stress in the gear there by increasing the life of gears.
Most of them are given solutions to the use of material with improved strength, hardening the surfaces selectively with heat treatment and carburization, and shot peening to improve the surface finish. Many efforts such as altering the pressure angle, using the asymmetric teeth, introducing stress relief feature and using the gear with high contact ratio have been made to improve the durability and strength of the gear.
2. GEOMETRY OF GEAR
Figure-1: Geometry of circular fillet
Consider the involute spur gear tooth of circular fillet is shown in figure 1. The point ‘O’ is center of the gear, axis ‘ Oy’ is the axis of symmetry of tooth. Point B is the point where involute profile starts (from the form circle ).

Point A is tangent to the circular fillet with the root
circle. Point D lying on . AD represent the center of the
circular fillet. Line ( ) is tangent to the root circle at A and
intersects with the line ( ) at C.
From geometry of circular fillet coordinates (points A, B, D) obtained using following equations
XA = rf . sin ( ξ + Ωs ) , YA = rf . cos ( ξ + Ωs )
XB = rf . sin Ωs , YB = rf . cos

4. FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS
A single tooth is considered for finite element analysis. Gear material strength is a major consideration for the operational loading and environment. In modern practice heat treated alloy steel are used to overcome the wear
resistance. In this work 20 CR5 ( Case Hardened Steel ) is
used for analysis. ANSYS version 14.0 software is used for analysis. The gear tooth is meshed in 3-D solid 186 with fine mesh. Solid 186 is a structural 3D 20 node solid element. It has 3 degree of freedom in X, Y, Z direction (Translation). It supports plasticity, creep, stress and large deflection.

Speed (N) = 1500 rpm
Torque (T) = 2380 N-mm

5. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Bending stress and deflection were carried out for both trochoidal root fillet and circular root fillet design. Bending stress values are presented in table.
The result shows that deflection value of both trochoidal and circular root fillet gears are similar. But bending stress developed in circular root fillet have less stress (106.64 MPa) compared to trochoidal root fillet gear (122.95 MPa).

6. CONCLUSION
The effect of proposed circular fillet design on the bending
stress induced in spur gear was investigated in comparison
with standard trochoidal circular root fillet design. From the
results it concludes that deflection in trochoidal and circular
root fillet gear tooth is almost same. But there is reduction in
bending stress value for circular root fillet design compared
to bending stress value in trochoidal root fillet design.
From the results it found that 13.27 % reduction in
stress when circular root fillet design is used instead of
standard trochoidal root fillet design for existing gear ( 15
no. of teeth ).
From the results it is found that as number of teeth
increases % reduction in bending stress decreases. Circular
root fillet design is useful for lesser number of teeth and
trochoidal root fillet design is suitable for more number of
teeth ( more than 22 ).
